FISH INSURANCE WHAT THE CRITICS SAY
AutoExpress.co.uk So all indications are that Audi has done exactly what we expected with the A1. It is beautifully built, it is strong and feels utterly bullet proof. But there’s a downside to that - where the MINI’s powerful image helps it stand on its own, the A1 could suffer from not having enough of a unique character compared to its siblings.
But for a lot of people, a sub-4m car that costs less; is dripping with quality fittings and feels like an A4 will be just the ticket, thanks very much.
Autocar.co.uk There’s a lot to like about the A1 TDI. Like it’s petrol-powered siblings it offers a new, cheaper way to gain membership of the Audi club – and it will also be covered by the same £250 five-year/50,000 mile servicing offer.
ALTERNATIVES
It’s also worth mentioning that, despite the A1’s Polo-based underpinnings, the TDI is both cleaner, quicker and, most impressively, cheaper than Audi’s last small diesel - the considerably more radical A2 TDI - was when it was launched back in 2001. But the A1’s petrol engines are so sweet, and so economical, that we suspect only drivers contemplating using an A1 for the sort of mega mileages slightly out of keeping with its supermini character will opt for the TDI motor.
Telegraph.co.uk What a wasted opportunity. The A1 is beautifully made and its cabin is the apogee of automotive design and assembly, but you would never consider driving this car for joy alone and the design is instantly forgettable. This is a supermini for bloodless accountants and one that you would buy with head rather than heart. Watch out, Peak Supermini might be closer than you think.
Here are a few alternatives to consider as selected by the Evans Halshaw Motability Dealer Group:
